Chapter 619 - 608: A Fox Exploiting the Tiger’s Might
The guard’s eyes flashed with a dark gleam as he clutched the box, "Open it. Who knows if there’s evidence of collusion with assassins inside?"
Bai Erlang was furious, "Where would a student like me conspire with assassins?"
He directly pulled out a key and with a snap, he opened the box, which contained all his belongings, mostly silver, with a small portion being copper coins.
He showed the contents to the guards briefly before closing the box intending to tuck it into his embrace. However, the guard held on and, with an inscrutable expression, said, "I need to take this box with me, to check if there’s a hidden compartment."
Manbao and Bai Shanbao, upon hearing the quarrel inside the room, hurried in. Hearing the guard’s words, Manbao immediately took out a piece of clothing from a cabinet by the side and spread it on the bed, while Bai Shanbao opened the box again, took out all the money, and very generously handed the box to the guard, "Here, take it and check."
A dark light flickered in the guard’s eyes as he sternly observed the three young people, closed the box, and handed it to the person behind him.
Zhou Silang, who followed into the room, saw their faces and knew things were not looking good. From the way they had carelessly smashed the kitchen, he knew these people were not to be trifled with.
He stepped forward, anxious, fumbled on his person, and finding no money, he disregarded everything, and grabbed the silver on the clothing to stuff it into the guard’s hand in an attempt to bribe them.
But Manbao caught his hand, while Bai Shanbao shook his head at him.
The guard squinted his eyes, and the atmosphere in the room grew strange.
Zhou Silang couldn’t help but look towards Daji, feeling that in this room, it was only the two of them mature enough to handle the situation.
